painting under blown pebble dash

[tryeraspanner]

Hello,

I have a bungalow where the top half of the walls are painted pebbledash all round.

One section of wall facing south west has the painted pebble dash flaking off revealing the cement under.

I cant afford to have it re done professionally and dont like the pebbledash anyway.

The section of wall is out of sight but I am worried about how waterproof the cement is without the pebbledash.

Can I carefully remove the pebble dash and if the under cement is firm/solid paint directly onto it?

Thanks

Why not just replace the blown section with standard render.. paint it to match the stuff each side.. shouldnt look too odd
